cancerns 'bout my car

Bri's ride · 04-19-2004, 05:43 PM

i have 2 major concerns about my car
A: When i start my car, i get a slight fuel smell, it gets worse when i turn my fan on, any suggestions?
B: when i accelerate i hear a click/ticking sound, it was a lot worse when it was colder out, its not that bad anymore. It still got me a little worried. any thoughts?
Thanks

I dont know about the fuel smell. Sorry

But the ticking sound...
Small exhaust leak maybe?
With my car.. if I try to accelorate to quickly in to high of a gear it'll tick a little from the exhaust.

I think my car might have a slight exhaust leak after putting the prochamber but nothing worth noticing. But the one im talking about was doing it before i put the mid pipe in, it sounds really mechanical, not reallly loud just want to make sure its nothing serious.Could this be my u joints?

Where is the sound coming from?

You do know that the fuel injectors & fuel rail make a ticking sound, right?

This is normal

I didn't know the fuel rails/injectors where suppost to make noise. But it sounds like it is coming from the back near the rear end. I can't quite tell because im in the car, it was a lot worse when it was colder it doesn't do it as near as much now. It noramlly right i after i start it up and start driving, if it does do it, it only last for a min or so. The best i can describ the sound it a mechanical, ginding click i guess. sorry i can't be more acurate.

thanks for the info
